The Inquisitorius is a panel of Wookieepedians who review, monitor, and improve all aspects of Featured Articles, including Featured article nominations.
Review all Featured Article nominations and either A) approve or B) reject them in an Inquisitorius vote, based on the quality and adherence to FA criteria of the article. All FA noms have to be approved by a minimum of 3 Inquisitors (depending on the total number of votes), with no objections from a panel member. Inquisitors should include {{Inqvote}} before their sigs to make vote counting easier. FA noms can be rejected without an Inquisitorius vote if removal of the nomination is requested by the original nominator.
Strike unnecessary or irrelevant objections from the FA nomination page. Inquisitors have the power to strike objections on the Featured Article nomination page provided the objection has been addressed and the original objector has been absent for at least a week after an "objection addressed" comment is left on the FA nom page, but only with a quorum of at least 3 Inquisitors approving the removal of the objection, and less than two opposed. Additionally, FA objections can be struck by the Inquisitorius (as well as by any admin) if they do not fall under one of the rules.
Review and possibly remove FA status from an article. Inquisitors also have the ability to strip an article of FA status, but only with approval of at least 5 Inquisitors and less than 2 opposed.
Review and constructively critique articles brought to them by user request. The Inquisitorius will also accept article submissions of any kind, which will be reviewed for problems and mistakes. The submitter will then be notified with a list of problems needed to be changed. Inquisitors can be contacted individually to request a review via their user talk pages or IRC.
The Inquisitorius theoretically meets every month in the IRC channel to discuss FA removal and other topics. Please see the meeting pages in the Miscellaneous Forums section below to find the actual times and topics. Inquisitors, please make an effort to be at the meetings!
FAs under review: This is for current featured articles that are under review by the Inquisitorius. These articles have been put on probation with the concerns listed on each page. Users are welcome to contribute with further concerns, comments, or helping to address the problems listed.
FAs in need of review: Anyone can place a featured article they wish to be reviewed here and the Inquisitorius will assess it at the next Inquisitorius meeting. Please be sure to list concerns as to why the article should be reviewed, such as lack of comprehensiveness or citation, etc.
Meetings and other official business: These are primarily for members of the Inquisitorius. Non-Inquisitors' votes will not be counted on these forums and irrelevant forums may be deleted. Any miscellaneous questions are better addressed on this page's talk page and all complaints or concerns regarding the Inquisitorius should be addressed here.
